Built for accounting practices
Payroll and lodgement built for firms, not single businesses
Most payroll tools are built to run one company’s pay run. Firms run dozens — each with different awards, super funds and deadlines. Sole SPM is built for the bureau: manage every client’s payroll, super and lodgements side by side, with shared issue tracking and one-click roll-ups. STP Phase 2, Payday Super and SuperStream are handled the ATO-compliant way, from day one.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions
What is payroll software for accountants?
It’s payroll built for firms that run pay for multiple client businesses — a payroll bureau — rather than a single company. Sole SPM lets you manage every client’s pay runs, super and STP lodgement from one login, with Modern Award interpretation and compliance built in.
Does Sole SPM support STP Phase 2 and Payday Super?
Yes. STP Phase 2 reporting is built in, including disaggregated income types and YTD finalisations. With Payday Super starting 1 July 2026 — super must reach employees’ funds within seven business days of payday — Sole’s SuperStream clearing is designed to run super alongside each pay run rather than quarterly.
Can it interpret Modern Awards?
Yes. Sole SPM includes interpreters for 120+ Modern Awards, automating pay rates, penalties, allowances and leave accrual so every client stays Fair Work compliant.
Does it handle tax lodgement as well as payroll?
Yes. BAS, IAS, PAYG, FBT and individual returns (ITR1 and ITR2) are lodged directly to the ATO via SBR2, tracked on a firm-wide lodgement calendar with extension and concession handling.
Is Sole Practice Manager made in Australia?
Yes. Sole Practice Manager is Australian-made, hosted in AWS Sydney, and built specifically for Australian accounting and bookkeeping firms.
